He Has To Pay (For What I Get For Free)
David Allan Coe
He buys her diamonds to wear on her fingers
Love don’t come cheap you see
She comes to me for the things he don’t give her
He has to pay for what I get for free
But I don’t ask no questions
And he don’t look for answers
I know about him and he knows about me
She don’t try to hide it but both of us wonder
Why he has to pay for what I get for free
She’s got gold bracelets, lives in big fancy places
Love don’t come cheap you see
He buys almost everything she’s ever wanted
He has to pay for what I get for free
But I don’t ask no questions
And he don’t look for answers
I know about him and he knows about me
She don’t try to hide it but both of us wonder
Why he has to pay for what I get for free
Why does he have to pay for what she gives me for free
